The problem here isn't nutrition or fallacy from nature.
The problem is that everything special about RFK jr. was true before his umbilical chord was cut.
The reason being saturated fats are linked with poor health, and unsaturated fats are linked with better health. And not just in a "rich people are healthier" way, when companies switched, everyone got healthier.
But this guy doesn't care. We're really living in a post-truth world.
Yup. It's well studied which is why when someone has a heart attack the recommendation is essentially eliminating all saturated and trans fat. (See the DASH diet).
Basically, if the fat is solid at room temp, it's unhealthy.
What about coconut oil? Or is that one of those weird ones where it depends?
Nope. Coconut oil is really high in saturated fat. It's bad. The fact that it went through a phase where people were considering it a "healthy" fat had actual nutritionists raging.
That's a really fun rule of thumb
The omega 6/3 thing about seed oils mentioned in the article is real. It can be a big cause of inflammation. Plus, seed oils often have pretty toxic extraction procedures, especially for the cheap stuff.
But tallow and animal fats aren't the solution. Olive oil is. And I guess avocado oil if you need something more neutral and/or with a higher smoke point.
Please share your proof of any negatives of seed oil, because it's bullshit

You can read the transcripts if you don't want to watch the videos. Enjoy!
Yeah, that's not a great source. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nutritionfacts-org/
Mostly because of his bias for veganism, which those linked videos have nothing to do with. But if you prefer more mainstream sources: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/04/how-vegetable-oils-replaced-animal-fats-in-the-american-diet/256155/
Olive oil doesn't scale to match anything near current human consumption — a big chunk of what's sold as olive oil is already counterfeit.
Olives, canola and soy beans are all the same thing - they are all fruits not seeds.
Canola is rapeseed
I don't quite follow. You're saying that because not everyone can feasibly partake in healthier food, nobody should? Also, the current economic realities around certain food items aren't fixed in stone. Taxes, tariffs, regulations, and all sorts of other policy levers can make big changes to the market.
No, I'm saying that it isn't possible significantly shift peoples' diets to olive oil from other fats and oils because olive oil consumption is supply-constrained.
Okay.. But it's still a healthier solution than vegetable oil or tallow for the portion of the population that can be supplied with it, right?
Illuminati trying to keep America away from delicious beef fat boiled meats
Great! Let ‘em have their animal fats/lard/tallow. They don’t trust medical doctors, so when their LDL goes through the roof… well, Darwinism will step in. Problem will self-correct in a generation or two.
In other words: FAFO.
For non-contagious diseases, sure.
But as it turns out, obesity is actually contagious: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5124998/
Social contagion as a component in disease spread and prevention is a really interesting concept and definitely needs more study.
there's a few treats we still use lard or tallow for but that's pretty much it, and only once-a-year at most.
still use real butter or bacon drippings for frying eggs, though. ain't gonna give that up.
I will still use butter for all that popcorn I am going to consume while watching post-reality USA go down the drain.
